A bomb calorimetric experiment was run to determine the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol. The reaction is The bomb had a heat c

apacity of 490 J/K, and the calorimeter contained 730 g of water. Burning 4.40 g of ethanol, resulted in a rise in temperature from 16.8 °C to 20.5 °C. Calculate the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol, in kJ/mol. (The specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.184 J/g ⋅ K.) Enthalpy of combustion = kJ/mol

Answer:

The enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58  kJ/mol.

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the bomb and water is equal to the product of the heat  capacity and the temperature change. Working with this equation, and assuming no heat is lost to  the surroundings, we write :

qcal= Ccal × ΔT= 490 J/K × 276.7 K= <u>135,583 J</u> = 135.58 kJ

Note we expressed the temperature change in K, because the heat capacity is written in K.

<u> Now that we have the heat of combustion, we need to calculate the molar heat.  </u>

Because qsystem = qrxn + qcal and qrxn = -qcal, the heat change of the reaction is -135.58 kJ.

This is the heat released by the combustion of 4.40 g of ethanol ; therefore, we can write  the <u>conversion factor as 135.58 kJ/ 4.40 g</u>.

The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g, so the heat of combustion of 1 mole of ethanol is :

molar heat of combustion= -135.58 kJ/4.40 g x 46.07 g/ 1 mol= -1419.58 kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58  kJ/mol.

Answer:

in both nucleophil attach the c and leaving group leave but in acyl nu. subsituation c of carbonyl because of double bond with o have bigger positive charge and is better electrophil so do it faster,also alkyl nu. subsituation can have rearangment if going from sn1 and in sn2 sterichemistry of molecule change , acyl nu. subsituation most of time is better

What was the history and use of the periodic table?
cestrela7 [59]
<span>In 1669 German merchant and amateur alchemist Hennig Brand attempted to created a Philosopher’s Stone; an object that supposedly could turn metals into pure gold. He heated residues from boiled urine, and a liquid dropped out and burst into flames. This was the first discovery of phosphorus.

In 1680 Robert Boyle also discovered phosphorus, and it became public.

In 1809 at least 47 elements were discovered, and scientists began to see patterns in the characteristics.

In 1863 English chemist John Newlands divided the then discovered 56 elements into 11 groups, based on characteristics.

In 1869 Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev started the development of the periodic table, arranging chemical elements by atomic mass. He predicted the discovery of other elements, and left spaces open in his periodic table for them.

In 1886 French physicist Antoine Bequerel first discovered radioactivity. Thomson student from New Zealand Ernest Rutherford named three types of radiation; alpha, beta and gamma rays. Marie and Pierre Curie started working on the radiation of uranium and thorium, and subsequently discovered radium and polonium. They discovered that beta particles were negatively charged.

In 1894 Sir William Ramsay and Lord Rayleigh discovered the noble gases, which were added to the periodic table as group 0.In 1897 English physicist J. J. Thomson first discovered electrons; small negatively charged particles in an atom. John Townsend and Robert Millikan determined their exact charge and mass.

In 1900 Bequerel discovered that electrons and beta particles as identified by the Curies are the same thing.

In 1903 Rutherford announced that radioactivity is caused by the breakdown of atoms.

In 1911 Rutherford and German physicist Hans Geiger discovered that electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom.

In 1913 Bohr discovered that electrons move around a nucleus in discrete energy called orbitals. Radiation is emitted during movement from one orbital to another.

In 1914 Rutherford first identified protons in the atomic nucleus. He also transmutated a nitrogen atom into an oxygen atom for the first time. English physicist Henry Moseley provided atomic numbers, based on the number of electrons in an atom, rather than based on atomic mass.

In 1932 James Chadwick first discovered neutrons, and isotopes were identified. This was the complete basis for the periodic table. In that same year Englishman Cockroft and the Irishman Walton first split an atom by bombarding lithium in a particle accelerator, changing it to two helium nuclei.

In 1945 Glenn Seaborg identified lanthanides and actinides (atomic number >92), which are usually placed below the periodic table.</span>

When The appearance of a system changes does the mass of the system also change why why not
seropon [69]
No, because the appearance has nothing to do with system as well as the fact that appearance is only how it looks

A bomb calorimeter has a heat capacity of 675 J/°C and contains 925 g of water. If the combustion of 0.500 mole of a hydrocarbon
ikadub [295]

<u>Answer:</u> The enthalpy of the reaction is 269.4 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter, we use the equation:

q_1=c\Delta T

where,

q = heat absorbed

c = heat capacity of calorimeter = 675 J/°C

\Delta T = change in temperature = T_2-T_1=(53.88-24.26)^oC=29.62^oC

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q_1=675J/^oC\times 29.62^oC=19993.5J

To calculate the heat absorbed by water, we use the equation:

q_2=mc\Delta T

where,

q = heat absorbed

m = mass of water = 925 g

c = heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g°C

\Delta T = change in temperature = T_2-T_1=(53.88-24.26)^oC=29.62^oC

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q_2=925g\times 4.186J/g^oC\times 29.62^oC=114690.12J

Total heat absorbed = q_1+q_2

Total heat absorbed = [19993.5+114690.12]J=134683.62J=134.7kJ

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}

where,

q = amount of heat absorbed = 134.7 kJ

n = number of moles of hydrocarbon = 0.500 moles

\Delta H_{rxn} = enthalpy change of the reaction

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{134.7kJ}{0.500mol}=269.4kJ/mol

Hence, the enthalpy of the reaction is 269.4 kJ/mol
